Chapter 157
"Fiona...she..."
Mrs. Liz, who was originally shy under the romance of her lover like a young girl, paused slightly when Sebastian mentioned her little daughter, and then changed the subject:
"Don't worry about the child, let's go back to the room first, I think that..."
"Is she practicing sword again?!" Sebastian's good mood was gone, and he suppressed his anger and asked Liz to confirm.
"Alas..." Liz did not answer, she just sighed with a frustrated face.
Compared with Sebastian's outstanding appearance, this Mrs. Laurent can only be regarded as above average.
But even so, Mrs. Liz still used her advantages to firmly maintain her position as the mistress of the Laurent family.
Obviously, even such a resourceful mistress still has her own troubles and still has guys she can't take down.
"I... didn't I say it? Fiona will be eighteen soon. We will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her in a few days!
My requirements are already so low. I just ask her to play this song [Roland's Love]! Then let her play the piano on her birthday!
Let those old guys see that what I said is not false! My Fiona is gentle and kind...
Is it so difficult?
It takes so long to practice just one song, is it so difficult!
Others asked me about my daughter! Do you know what I said?
I said: My Fiona has cultivated excellent aristocratic etiquette since she was a child!
She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is gentle and considerate. She is her father's..." Sebastian's face was full of dissatisfaction and anger. While talking to Liz, he walked quickly towards the outdoor sword practice field. He didn't want to see that person at his destination.
...
Tequila City.
Based on the country's production level and industrial level, most of the ground in Demacia is still in a soft soil state.
The same is true for Tequila City in the northern province.
However, the road has become solid due to people's trampling.
The ground used by the Laurent family for sword practice is solid and flat with coal and stones. There are small bungalows next to the ground, and various swords are displayed in the houses.
There are blue steel white blades, slender swords that are good at stabbing, and Demacia standard sabers...
After walking quickly for more than ten minutes, Sebastian and Mrs. Liz who followed behind him have already arrived at the periphery of the sword practice field.
Before even entering the sword practice field, the two heard the arrogant voice of their little daughter from a distance.
"...You lost! Amuda, you are slacking off! You are not loyal enough to the family sword!
Besides, your weapon does not need to be so gorgeous and fancy, is this for comparison?
Weapons, simple and concise is completely enough!
You lost too quickly, and did not give me a sense of accomplishment.
Boring, really boring, I really don't know why my father..."
On the duel field for sword practice, a woman with a slender figure, wearing a slim and comfortable white and green duel outfit, with a hint of pride between her eyebrows, she was wiping the slender blade in her hand with expensive cloth.
Every muscle on the woman's body looked extremely lucky, her back and shoulders were straight, and her wine-red short hair was neat and tidy.
Her facial features were delicate and soft, but the most distinctive feature was her eyes, with sword eyes and star eyebrows, and a sharp breath in her phoenix eyes.
Closing her eyes made her look extremely soft, but the woman's eyes opened destroyed all the softness.
The bright and sharp eyes gave people an extremely exaggerated sense of oppression, as if she saw through everything.
The man who was the woman's opponent was getting up from the ground. As for the sword in his hand, it had naturally been thrown out of the duel field.
Amda Laurent did not show any dissatisfaction on his face because of his failure.
Amuda just smiled and got up from the ground. His helpless words showed his admiration for women:
"Sister! Even Andre joined the army because he was not your opponent. Andre and I are ashamed of your diligence. What's so strange about me being defeated by you? It's a pity that you are a woman..."
After hearing these words, Fiona tilted her head in response, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in her sharp eyes: "Amuda? Do you still want to continue the duel? It seems that we have to..."
"No, no, no! Fiona, listen to me, I don't mean anything else, I'm just..."
The handsome man immediately tried to explain his mistake in a hurry after hearing this. He kept denying what he said. Suddenly, Amuda stared at Fiona's back and then immediately reminded her softly:
"Hey! FionaNa, it's my father! My father is here! Behind you!"
"Do you think I will believe you..." Fiona glared at Amuda and turned around cautiously.
Sebastian, with a livid face, had already rushed into the sword practice field.
An old father witnessed his son's uneasiness and pleading for mercy after being defeated, and also witnessed his daughter's violence and the ruthless words that seemed to pierce into others' flaws.
What caught Sebastian's eyes was an empty field and the two people on the duel field.
Of course, there were also puppet targets scattered around for sword training.
"Wait! Why do I feel so familiar with the fabrics on these puppet targets? "
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and stared at the tattered clothes on the puppet targets.
Then, Sebastian's eyes widened.
He remembered what it was?! It was the gorgeous clothes that he had spent a lot of money to have the skillful tailor in Demacia tailor for Fiona.
There were both luxurious black evening dresses and red dresses for grand ceremonies...
The beautiful clothes that Sebastian had ordered were now scattered on these puppet sword targets.
Obviously, someone used these puppets in gorgeous clothes as objects for practicing thrusting and blocking.
Sebastian knew what kind of character Amuda was, so the only person who did this was...
"Father? "Fiona turned around and saw Sebastian. A trace of uneasiness flashed across her face, but she still shouted coquettishly, but she held the sword in her hand tighter.
Amuda had already walked to the edge of the duel and picked up the sword that was thrown away.
"Fiona!!! Do you know what you are doing? You should practice your piano at this time! Instead of practicing sword here!"
Sebastian suppressed his anger and ordered Fiona,
"You will be eighteen soon. We will arrange a very happy marriage for you! But you have to work hard too!"
Fiona's rebellious psychology came up. As she grew older, her rebellion against the responsibilities imposed on her became stronger and stronger. She even began to contradict her father:
"Father! I don't want to get married. I want to join the family's swordsman team and then dedicate myself to Demacia, so as to..."
"It's unfortunate for my family! You are simply..." Facing Fiona's rebuttal, Sebastian looked incredible and interrupted Fiona's words directly.
And Amda had already slipped away quietly and tactfully.
"Okay, okay! We are all family, so don't quarrel here! Fiona, how can you contradict your father! Sebastian, your daughter is still young, you have to..." Seeing that her husband was obviously furious, Mrs. Liz immediately stood up to comfort the two.
But Mrs. Liz's comfort made the furious Sebastian think of her and complain:
"Still young? You don't know! From childhood to adulthood, I have given Fiona high hopes!
But she threw her dolls to the maid since she was a child!
She secretly took Andre's sword and forced Andre to secretly teach her swordsmanship! Don't say that you, as a mother, don't know!
Fiona, you think you are doing it very secretly, but I know everything!
Ahhh! I regret it. At that time, I was ignorant and thought my daughter would get better. She would get better!
I even told everyone how good my Fiona was!
Then you started to get worse and worse, and you were too lazy to hide!
No! You must get married after your 18th birthday!
Otherwise, if the news leaked out, there would be no match for you...
It's better to do it sooner rather than later!
No! Absolutely not! Those guys also believe what I said. Many people have come to ask about Fiona's marriage before..."
In the political marriage of Demacia nobles, the marriage between nobles must be the main wife!
And the mistress must be gentle, considerate, and understand the etiquette of the nobles.
No man would want to marry a woman who thinks about defending the country all day long and is violent and iron-blooded.
Therefore, as a typical Demacia father.
Sebastian hopes that his daughter will be happy, and that his daughter can find a man of equal status, and also hopes to gain family benefits in political marriage. He is so worried now.
"I..." Fiona frowned after listening to her father's complaints to her mother, and she was about to refute it.
But seeing her mother leaning on Sebastian's shoulder and crying, Fiona couldn't say a word of resistance.
